Is this forum really as busy as it claims?

For a game that has been out for years and years, that's remarkable. Of course, I've been playing for years and keep coming back to the game, so maybe that makes sense.

There's a number of reasons why the forums are still active... the main reason is multiplayer followed by modding, random map generations, lots of game content and of course intense game depth/strategy. When viewing other successful singleplayer only games such as Galactic Civilizations 2 the forums are scary silent. For the record I play both singleplayer and multiplayer games.
